If you want to learn American English, you will find the best 13 American dictionary's from Oxford and Cambridge and more just for you.As we know dictionary, also referred to as a lexicon, wordbook, or vocabulary,is a collection of words in one or more specific languages, often listed , with usage information, definitions, etymologies, phonetics, pronunciations, and other information or a book of words in one language with their equivalents in another, also known as a lexicon. According to Nielsen 2008 a dictionary may be regarded as a lexicographical product that is characterized by three significant features: (1) it has been prepared for one or more functions; (2) it contains data that have been selected for the purpose of fulfilling those functions; and (3) its lexicographic structures link and establish relationships between the data so that they can meet the needs of users and fulfill the functions of the dictionary.
Further, each word may have multiple meanings. A dictionary typically includes each separate meaning in the order of most common usage.
In many languages, words can appear in many different forms, but only the underlined or conjugation form appears as the headword in most dictionaries.Dictionaries are most commonly found in the form of a book, but some newer dictionaries, like Star Dict and the New Oxford American Dictionary are dictionary software running on PDAs or computers. There are also many online dictionaries accessible via the Internet.
